ABC FAMILY HAS BEGUN PRODUCTION ON THE NEW ONE-HOUR PROCEDURAL DRAMA SERIES “STITCHERS”
Emma Ishta and Kyle Harris Will Be Joined by Recently Cast Series Regulars
Ritesh Rajan, Salli Richardson-Whitfield and Allison Scagliotti
Burbank, CA (January 14, 2015) – ABC Family has begun production on the new procedural drama series “Stitchers,” filming in Los Angeles. “Stitchers” follows Kirsten (Emma Ishta), a young woman recruited into a covert government agency to be ‘stitched’ into the minds of the recently deceased, using their memories to investigate murders and decipher mysteries that otherwise would have gone to the grave. Working alongside Kirsten is Cameron (Kyle Harris), a brilliant neuroscientist whose passion for the program is evident in his work. The secret program is headed by Maggie (Salli Richardson-Whitfield), a skilled veteran of covert operations, and includes Linus (Ritesh Rajan), a socially immature bioelectrical engineer and communications technician. Kirsten’s roommate, Camille (Allison Scagliotti), a gifted computer science grad student, is also recruited to use her skills to assist Kirsten in her new role as a ‘stitcher.’
Created and written by Jeffrey A. Schechter (“Overruled!”), who will executive produce alongside Jonathan Baruch and Rob Wolken, “Stitchers” stars newcomer Emma Ishta as Kirsten, Kyle Harris (“Carrie Diaries”) as Cameron, Ritesh Rajan (upcoming “Jungle Book” feature) as Linus, Salli Richardson-Whitfield (“Eureka,” “I Am Legend”) as Maggie, and Allison Scagliotti (“Warehouse 13”) as Camille. Todd Holland (“The Larry Sanders Show,” “Malcolm in the Middle”) will direct the premiere episode.

I am so psyched for this. I can't wait to see how ABC Family plays out a procedural.
ReplyDeleteI will try it. Mostly because of Allison Scagliotti.
ReplyDeleteThis will be their CSI or Law and Order or it could be their Eye Candy.
ReplyDeleteLooks like they did some recasts.
ReplyDeleteGreat, now that I know Claudia is in it I'll have to give it a chance. I would've skipped it otherwise.
ReplyDeleteWell, now that Salli and Allison are in it - I'm all for it.
ReplyDeleteThis is their iZombie.
ReplyDeletesame
ReplyDeleteit's sci-fi, unfortunately and i hate saying this but i don't think it'll last because it's like ABC Family hates these shows, Kyle XY ( 3 years but still got cancelled), Ravenswood and Twisted (not sci-fi or supernatural but still)
ReplyDeleteWell, Ravenswood was kinda supernatural.. with all the weird stuff going on.. But I do agree with you!
